Karen,
We love you very much and want you to
know that we will do anything we can for
you. We love Danny and will miss him
very much.
Tom, Anita, Hannah, and Adam.
Karen,
We love you and we are praying for you. We loved Danny very much and we will miss him greatly. We will always treasure the fond memories.
We will continue to pray for you. Know that we have been with you in spirit even though we could not be with you physically.
We will see you Wednesday.
My thoughts and prayers are with Karen and the whole family. Danny was very special, and I am lucky to have known him. I was definately blessed to call him my uncle. I’ll miss you Danny!
Karen, Danny touched so many lives in a positive way!! It is impossible to know how many people he touched because he did it on a regular basis. I will never forget the kindness you and Danny showed us when Mike was in the hospital. On that New Years Eve you both came by to see how Mike was doing, and, drove us home in a blizzard. I will never forget the love and compassion!!! Karen, you are a very special person, as, was Danny!! He will be missed greatly and will remain in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always!!! Pam & Mike
I couldn’t be more fortunate to have had Danny as an uncle. I am proud to have been his nephew. I am equally proud to remember all of the wonderful family gatherings, fishing trips, humor and practical jokes. He had a special and unique way of making our gatherings more fun and he had a heart of gold. Our hearts are very heavy and we are deeply saddened by his loss, but take great comfort in knowing Danny is with our Heavenly Father and that we will one day meet again.
I am just as fortunate to have Karen as an aunt and I treasure her. Our love, support and prayers are with Karen today and always.
Karen, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Although we have known each other for many years I’m sorry that I never had the pleasure of meeting Danny. I knew he was wonderful just from listening to you talk. This isn’t the time but remember I am just a phone call away and here for you. May God bless you and keep you in his care. Much love, Kathy
To the family of Danny:
I enjoyed the short time I knew Danny and the special meaning we both had for the bible verse Jer. 29:11…..God’s plans for Danny were to have him in Heaven next to him….What a great pleasure I bet Danny is having!
May God be with all of you in your loss.
Karen,
Know that you are in our thoughts
and prayers. Words cannot express and
no-one will ever know until faced with
what you are faced with, but God can
comfort beyond all understanding. There’s
one thing that you can also take great
comfort in is knowing that Danny was a
Christian and that someday you will see
him again. Love in Christ.

Our prayers are with you. We’ve never met, but through my acquaintence with your cousin Pamela I have come to see what a wonderful person Danny was. He shall remain in everyone’s hearts, and as such, he’ll be with us always.
Daniel’s nephew, David Bessinger, is our son-in-law. Our prayers are with the family.
